SECTION III – HAZARDS INDEFICATION
Appearance and Odour:
Brown colour solid with no odour.
Primary Route(s) of Exposure:
Inhalation, skin, eye
Potential Health Effects:
ACUTE (short term):
Continuous basalt filament is a mechanical irritant. Inhalation of dusts and filament may cause temporary
irritation of the mouth, noses, and throat. Skin contact with dust and filament may produce itching and
temporary irritation. Eye contact with dust and filament may produce temporary mechanical irritation.
Ingestion may produce temporary mechanical irritation of the digestive tract.
See Section 8 for exposure controls.
CHRONIC (long term)
There are no known health effects associated with chronic exposure to this product. See Section 11 of
MSDS for an explanation of the toxicological data.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Chronic respiratory or skin conditions that are
aggravated by mechanical irritants may be at increased risk for worsening from exposure to this product.

SECTION IV - FIRST AID
INGESTION: Ingestion is unlikely. If ingested, the preferred method of elimination is through natural
gastrointestinal elimination. Induction of vomiting is not recommended. Drink extra water. Get medical
attention if gastrointestinal symptoms develop; for example, irritation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain,
and diarrhea.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash area of contact thoroughly with soap and water.
Do not rub or scratch exposed skin. Using a skin cream or lotion after washing may be helpful. Get
medical attention if irritation persists.
EYE CONTACT: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should
be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Do not rub. Get medical attention if irritation
persists.
INHALATION: These fibers are not respirable into the lungs. Some people may be sensitive to a fiberinduced irritation of the upper respiratory tract.

Use self contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) in a sustained fire.
Some undetermined compounds could be
released in small quantities.
SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill or leak procedure: If refuse from cutting or other operations is generated, use a vacuum to clean
up spilled material. Use wet sweeping or a dust suppressant where sweeping is necessary. Personal
safety, handling and exposure recommendations described elsewhere in this data sheet apply to
exposure during clean up of spilled material and should be followed.
Water Spill: This material will sink and disperse along the bottom of waterways and ponds. It can not
easily be removed after it is waterborne; however, the material is non-hazardous in water.
Waste disposal: This material, when discarded or disposal of, is not listed as a hazardous waste in
regulations. The transportation, storage, treatment and disposal of waste material must be conducted in
compliance with all applicable Federal, state, and local regulations, and in such a manner as to assure
no discharge to a source of drinking water.
Air Release: This material will settle out of the air. If concentrated on land it can then be scooped up for
disposal as a non-hazardous waste.

Not applicable.
No special storage or handling procedures are required for this
material.
SECTION VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS & PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation: General dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation should be provided as
necessary to maintain exposures below regulatory limits.
Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection: A properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved disposable dust respirator should be
used when: high dust levels are encountered; the level of basalt filament in the air exceeds the OSHA
permissible limits; or if irritations occurs.
Use respiratory protection in accordance with your company's respiratory protection program, local
regulations and OSHA regulations under 29 CFR 1910.134.
Skin Protection: Loose fitting long sleeved shirt that covers to the base of the neck, long pants and
gloves should be used. Skin irritation is known to occur mainly at pressure points such as around neck,
wrist, waist and between fingers.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.
These practices include: avoiding unnecessary exposures to dusts and filament by using good local
exhaust ventilation; removal of the material from the skin and eyes after exposure; removal of the
material from clothing (Use vacuum equipment to remove filament and dusts from clothing.
Compressed air should never be used. Always wash contaminated work clothes separately from other
laundry and wipe out washer/sink to prevent loosed filament from getting on other articles); keep the
work area clean of dusts and filaments generated during fabrication (Use vacuum equipment to clean
up dusts and filament. Avoid sweeping or using compressed air as these techniques re-suspend dusts
and filament into the air.) and; have access to safety showers and eye wash stations.

BASALT CONTINUOUS FIBERS:
The fibers in these materials are produced by melting naturally occurring basalt rock materials. The
resulting vitreous fibers are amorphous and contains SiO2 , Al2O2, CaO, MgO, Fe2O2 and other
naturally occurring oxides. No carcinogens are present in amounts above 0.1%.
